To The High School Friends Who Make It So Easy To Come Home, Thank Y'all
Brooklyn Blaylock

Dear high school best friends,

There's actually quite a few of you, and I'm eternally thankful for that.

I thought that the second that I left for college and was quite the distance away from y'all that we would lose touch.

But that wasn't the case at all.

Whether we communicated every day or once per month, I knew for a fact that you guys would always be there no matter what I needed. I lived for the "life update" texts you would all send or the random bible verses, the sparks of encouragement or the FaceTime calls.

I have encountered people while in college talking about how they never wanted to go back to high school because of their old friends.

Granted, I wouldn't necessarily want to go back to high school either, but I've been given the gift of eternal friendship by some of the most incredible people, thanks to high school.

Each one of you has taught me more things than I could possibly write, but I just wanted to let you know how much you are loved.

You will ALWAYS have a place in my heart, whether we grow apart or stay friends forever.

Thank you for encouraging me when I felt down, for supporting me through every decision I've made and for constantly being there.

Each of y'all deserves the world and so much more. I'm so thankful I get to have amazing people to come home to, no matter where we end up.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
